No reason to take the error code unless there's a plan to use it.

Any objection to moving the EFLAGS.AC up to do_alignment_check()?  And
take "unsigned long rip" instead of @regs?

That would allow KVM to reuse handle_user_split_lock() for guest faults
without any changes (other than exporting).

E.g. do_alignment_check() becomes:

	if (!(regs->flags & X86_EFLAGS_AC) && handle_user_split_lock(regs->ip))
		return;
